Turbos at the Greenwich Concours D'Elegance
Forced induction aplenty in Connecticut
There was a whole lot of head-spinning iron to take in at the Concours, but the star(s) of the show for this abnormally-aspirated motorcycle owner were the five factory Turbos of Brad Beers.
This is simply the finest collection of factory turbocharged motorcycles in the world. The Barber Motorsports Museum in Alabama is a respectable second. How do we know this? Because everyone who's seen both collections has given the nod to Brad. That's how.
Yeah, there were some great cars there. My heart skipped a few beats when Dale pointed out the 1964 Bill Thomas Cheetah to me. First one I've seen in the metal and it's more gorgeous than the hundreds of photos my eyes have burned holes into.
But those Turbos...

J2 Gold Panel Minncon 2023
Quick psa/reminder that this con took place while the actor’s union, SAG-AFTRA, is on strike. This means the boys cannot talk about any past, present, or future projects. But for the sake of clarity, I will be mentioning projects the boys are referring to by name.
Before the panel starts Jared notices a fan with an I heart Jensen sign, and says he does too.
Jared shows off a bit of his and Jensen's unspoken lingo, he does the sign for a brief pause. They got it from their director, Jensen says they had a lot of different hand signals for communication, and they also had names for certain types of shots. Jared mentions they had a friend in Van who's a larger individual and was always smoking pot so if they start the scene with a high and wide shot they'd call it the Murph. When the camera is on the dolly track and does a creep in if it's a little creep they'd call it a Mickey Rooney then Jensen says there are other ones they won't mention because they're very inappropriate.
Jared reminds fans that actors are currently on strike and thanks the fans for their understanding if there are any questions that they cannot answer. Jensen says that Jared can talk about his gardening skills and Jared says he loves him some zucchini and that he harvested some the previous week...I'm not gonna say it, but you know what I'm thinking 😉
Do they follow the Texas country music scene?
Jared always goes back to when in High School or Middle School Robert Earl King. Or Pat Green.
Jensen mentions Jerry Jeff Walker. He also says Texas certainly has its own country core, it's not like traditional Nashville country. x
The next fan had already asked Jared this question and now they want to know Jensen's answer: what kind of car would he have if money was no problem?
He doesn't have a holy grail and the reason he doesn't is because if he did he'd spend all his time figuring out how to get it; he'll watch car auction shows, used to watch them with Clif, and every one of them he'll want. He did see one car once, he and Jared had the opportunity to go to Concours d'Elegance which is the best, greatest car show there is in Pebble Beach. They close off the 18-hole golf course and line up the cars all along the fairways. It's right there on the coast and they were walking past the pre-world war cars and he saw an Austin Martin that took his breath away. He was like "this is outrageous you probably can't even get your hands on this" but if he ever had the opportunity to own something like that- he took more pictures of that car than any other car. x
The next fan doesn't have a question, they just wanted the boys to wish her a happy birthday and also show the tattoo she has of Jensen's face on the inside of her thigh, which took her 6hrs to get done. Jared jokes Jensen can't last six hours 🤣
What's the backstory behind the bracelets Jensen sometimes wears?
They've all been gifted to him by someone in his life, usually his wife or his daughter but he has friends that he has also traded with; there's always some sort of a back story to what he's wearing he doesn't usually go shopping and just buy stuff.
Then they get told a naughty joke: if a blackbird has black babies and a bluebird has blue babies what bird has no babies? A swallow. Both men have to walk away from the mic 🤣
Jared asks the next fan if they have any babies and even he's wondering why he says what comes into his head 😂
If they had to pick tattoos for each other what would they pick out?
Jensen points towards the fan that has his face tattoed on her inner tigh and says she already has it he would put his face on Jared's and Jared says "yeah I'd be more handsome." Gentlemen 👀
Jensen then says would put a bear growling on Jared's right hand. And Jared's like "why do they exist?" and Jensen just goes "to scare big things like you." Which I found a cute little exchange.
Jared would make Jensen get an enter at your own risk and an arrow pointing to somewhere that he's not gonna say but it would be in an old English cursive writing. Again 👀
Jared asks the fan what they would put on them and the fan replies that they would ask what they love and what describes them
Jensen comments that he and Jared had talked about getting something that represents SPN because when you're in it you're not thinking about how long the show is gonna go and so you know they talked about maybe getting the anti-possession tattoo or there was also talk about symbols of MOL but it's really come down that now that they're a few years removed from it and they're able to look back on it they're able to realize how big that part of their lives was for them and how forever it will be. That's not to say tattoos always have to be amazingly meaningful, some are just fun, but he feels they would because of how that show impacted their lives. x
If they were in Van and had a ping pong tournament with the cast and crew of SPN who would make it to the gold round and come out the victor?
They would. Jared says he thinks it happened a few times and they had to hide said ping pong table from them because they would sweat their makeup off.
Jensen says they would play that game so intensely as if they were running a marathon. They would be called back on set and be out of breath, show up panting- they had very intense games. I wanna make a dirty comment so badly involving the other things they were probably might have been doing on that ping pong table but I'm gonna keep it moving.
Jared says they represented Texas pretty damn well, and they're asked if they doubled up or destroyed the other. Both say it was pretty split, pretty even. It got to a point where they were just exposing each other's weaknesses like Jared would figure out Jensen's forehand was a little weaker that day so he'd send it straight into his forehand. x
Next is a fan wanting to know what they thought of her tattoo, and if they could give her artist a shoutout. They thought it was really awesome and the artist did a great job. x
If they go to a diner how likely is it that they would actually order a salad and a cheeseburger?
Jared says at a dinner he's kind of greasy spoon type of guy so like a burger or something. That's at a diner, but he probably orders salads more than burgers.
Jensen would probably go burger or burrito if they have it. And Jared says that's cause it's probably 2am, probably on the way home. He knows hubby so well 🥰
Jensen comments there's a dinner close to where he lives that they go to sometimes, and he's a creature of habit so they have this big massive burrito that he has no business eating all of but he does.
He mentions it has hot sauce so the fan asks if they like spicy food, they do, and Jensen says he likes jalapeños on his pizza all the time. They also mention Hot Ones and how they'd like to do it. x

1938 Steyr 220 Sport Roadster
1938 Steyr 220 Sport Roadster by Gläser on display at the 2021 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. Of the six cars thus bodied, two remain: one is in a museum in Austria and this is the other one. Originally delivered to a Berlin Steyr dealer as a demo car, which has led to the usual rumors that it used to belong to Eva Braun. The engine is of Sport specifications, meaning 85 rather than the standard 55 horsepower, thanks to dual carbs and exhausts, larger valves, and a camshaft with longer duration.

1951 Cadillac Series 75 sedan, one of 1,090 examples built that year. The wood trim was crafted by Maurice Schwartz of Pasadena, one of the last custom houses of the classic era. A 1952 Cadillac grille was fitted because alterations were completed in that year.
Cowboy movie star Gene Autry purchased the car for use on his ranch, and eventually sold it in 1989. After a complete refurbishment, the Cadillac was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in 2008.

10,000 FOLLOWERS!
Tumblr media
When we started this blog, we had no expectations of building a following. All we wanted was a creative outlet for posting pics, videos, and articles documenting our automotive escapades.
It turns out, you all wanted that too! We're eternally grateful to each of you, and thanks to you, have decided to put more focus, time, and effort into our content.
Here's a glimpse at what's to come...
TheCarGays Blog:
The blog itself will be updated more frequently, with a more diverse portfolio of content, ranging from daily pics to weekly videos and articles. We expect to become a reliable source of car content every day of the week.
TheCarGays Cross-Platform Content:
We will soon be announcing the launch of additional platforms where our content will be shared. This includes but isn't limited to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Each platform will share some content, while featuring platform curated and exclusive posts.
More, more, MOREEEEE!
We're making plans to attend more automotive events than ever before, including the internationally renown Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, all to bring more content to your screens.
Stay tuned...
Again, we want to thank each of your for helping us get to this milestone. It's clear that you want more, so more you will get. Stay tuned!
